First seen Mar 10, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a patient's own modified immune cells (CAR-T cells) can control HIV without daily antiviral drugs. Only 3 adults with well-controlled HIV are being enrolled to check safety first. If successful, this approach could lead to a functional cure, meaning the virus is kept at bay without lifelong medication.
